* The over-the-top presentation Alex designs for Jennifer about how a bill becomes a law, filled with {{Eagleland}} PatrioticFervor--he has her dress as the Statue of Liberty and end with a huge RousingSpeech and ''fireworks'', with the result that the teacher applauds and ends up in tears. The kicker, however, is that he had been pretending to be a dumb jock... so that when Jennifer finally threw a fit and quit over Alex's StageMom antics in "directing" her, he suddenly drops the facade and tries to fill in to give the presentation, ending with a very sheepish slip back into "dumbness", claiming he was only saying [[OrSoIHeard "what he'd heard his sister say"]].

* Not long after Andrew is born, the family is having to deal with him crying in the middle of the night. When one of them brought the baby outside, he stopped crying. When they went into the nursery to sing to him, he stopped crying.[[note]][[CaptainObvious In other words, he stopped crying whenever other family members were present.]][[/note]] So, after reviewing everything that worked, Stephen has them take the crib out into the hall and [[ComicallyMissingThePoint the family goes into the nursery and sings]]. We'll chalk it up to sleep deprivation.
